Juliet's default modus operandi is stab first, ask questions later.Juliet asks questions?!
Heh, good point. Juliet's modus operandi is to stab first, opine about it later.
I saw we stealth stab them. By "we" I mean "not the summoner and huge knight"
Surprise Round time!
Stab away! Gehenna still has the phantom smarts from those reefclaws and would rather not her guard down again.
Lorick: nothing, they're flat footed and so don't get an AoO. The table is difficult terrain so each square counts as 2 squares, but that's it.
Hello boys and girls
Your friendly neighbourhood DM here. Sadly, my desktop has died, on which I keep all my maps, journals, notes, etc. I can still post from my phone, but without the data from my computer I can't run the campaign. Thankfully, it's all backed up, but I need a new computer in order to access the backups.
It's going to take a while for me to sort out everything, so I'm putting the campaign on hold for a week.
I'm still around to post so if you want to do some downtime planning, or have any questions, now is a good time for them.
Sorry, DMU. Good luck with the replacement search. Please keep us appraised.
Will there be downtime in this campaign?
Maybe we can have the hapless rat botherers give up. Or at least any survivor. That way we can pump them for information in a RP scene. Assuming that might not need maps and such.
Good luck with getting a new PC. They're pretty cheap nowadays or do you go for high end rigs?
As for Lorick's future direction. Really he grew up in a place where the life expectancy is so low that he doesn't have any future direction. Very much in day to day survival mode. Getting away from Lamm and worrying about Sia/Miyoto in the meanwhile is pretty much it. Just the hope of being able to act against Lamm has caused him to come out of his shell a bit.
New desktop is up and running! Posting will resume tomorrow morning
Woot woot! Let's stab some bad guys!
Yay
Lorick - I've no problem with you changing actions based on other events; I'll take it that you back away in place of your third attack.
Juliet: as I play it, "x% y" means that if you roll 1 to x, then y happens. Thus "50% miss chance" means that you miss on a 1-50. Alas, that means both your attacks miss. Being unsighted sucks. [/faux sympathy]
Yup. Assuming that Lorick didn't need to move first his third attack will be a backaway. I'll roll Acrobatics to avoid AOO.
No worries, I assumed as much, and that's how I play it too. [/faux composure covering up blinding rage]
So, I've read up on the Fungal Stun Vial and I'm really not sure whether it will do anything: magical darkness suppresses all non-magical light sources, so there won't be a flash.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Fungal Stun Vial doesn't increase the level of light in an area (it functions the same in an area of bright light as it does dim light) so I don't think Darkness really has any effect on it. That being said, a possible compromise is that the darkness reduces the effect of the flash by 1-step.
Yeah, maybe the noise of the Vial will do the confusion effect rather than the stun.

I think, sadly, this is the correct interpretation. Sorry, Evelyn.
Obviously I'll go with whatever is ruled. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I do wish I had light as a damn cantrip tho.
Don't think cantrips override magical darkness.
Sigh... Since this is not exactly good news, I may as well do it the band aid way.
It seems work and real life have gotten quite busy indeed as of late, leaving me with far less time and energy than expected. This unfortunately leads me to the conclusion that I am lagging behind in my various games much more than I am comfortable with. And it does not seem as if it will be improving any time soon. So I have to cut down on the number of PbPs I am in and withdraw from some of them lest all of them perish.
This is one of those games.
So please remove any aliases of mine from the Current Characters roster so the campaign goes to the Previous Campaigns list.
I thank you for all the fun and I do sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this brings to the GM and my fellow players.
That's too bad, F.Castor/Vaenathis. I'm sorry to hear it. I'm sorry too if my own inability to keep the posting on this game flowing has contributed to that decision.
I will look forward to gaming with you in the other PbPs we are sharing.
It by no means contributed, I assure you. If anything, it actually made me consider not bowing out if it makes any sense. But sometimes one has to cut one's losses so to speak. :-)
Good luck and well wishes
Good luck to you, Vaen. Juliet will suitable morn the passing of her flank buddy by stabbing lots of blue folk in the faces.
Sad to see you go. Glad to see you're busy though. Best wishes to you and all of Greece in general :)
So, what do we do IC with Vaen's body? Go back to the inn with it? Or keep it with us so we can get the necromancer out of the way before returning it? Don't think we should leave it where it is because.. necromancers.
Take care, Castor. It was fun playing with you while it lasted!

I think we're on a bit of a time crunch, to avoid a war? My opinion is we stash Vaen or take him with.
Good rolls, Lorick!
Just waiting on Gehenna.
I'm going to be out of country from 2-26 to 3-10, and probably won't have the opportunity to check email much. Sorry that this is happening mid-crawl, but at least tactically Juliet's pretty simple to bot:
Charge into shit, use acrobatics and/or flank if possible, then stab, stab, stab some more. She'll use charmed life up to three times a day to add +2 to a save.
Hi all - internet connection has died (it's just one damn thing after another at the moment). Posting from my phone is fine but intermittent.
Apologies. Should be back up in 5 working days, apparently.
TECHNOLOGY!
Quick update, as I realise I haven't posted in a while. I'm still around!
Turns out my internet problems aren't just my internet problems, there's an infrastructure issue that means new cabling is needed. That's scheduled for March 9th and I'll be re-connected some time after that (when my ISP is damn good and ready, I suppose).
Doesn't (much) affect the games I'm playing in, as I can post from my phone. The games I'm DMing, on the other hand...
...no maps.
So, we're going to continue this the old-fashioned way, theatre of the mind style, and I'll map it up once I'm back online.
I'm away this weekend but I'll have a post up on Monday morning to re-start things.
Got it
Theatre of the mind is fair enough. Thanks for the update.
And we're back.
Assuming you make the Will save, the things are 1 move away; they have AC 15 (Touch 12, FF 13).
I guess we're waiting for someone?
Me. And my internet connection is still for sh*t. Sorry, all.
The good news is, my ISP is finally sending someone round to fix things - I should be online again tomorrow morning. Yay!
Many, many apologies for keeping you all hanging.
I have learned Neil Gaiman has retroactively stolen my character concept. Currently pursuing legal action.
I think Gehenna still needs to act this round.

Get 'em!
I'm back, and riding the fibre-optic network! You've no idea how good it is to be typing on an actual keyboard rather than a phone...
Let's get to it.
My gut says we should take this one alive.

I can imagine! Glad you're networking is working!

I'm afraid that Juliet doesn't understand taking these guys alive, but I imagine that she won't do enough damage with one hit to take it out :)
DMU, you see this announcement?
I did indeed... Long past time, in my not-so-humble opinion: CotCT is right up there with the best that Paizo have ever done.
If Evelyn says so he'll use non lethal. He's a bit of a soldier like that.
I think retroactively saying so would be kind of meta-gamey
